This usually happens because the server's PHP timeout limit is too low.

To save space, check the option "Delete files automatically after" or manually delete files via the "Files" tab.


v2 Rev 42 “Better” – 2025-03-15


Running a RapidLeech instance, even rev 42, comes with responsibility:

Safe use: Leech files you own (backups) or public domain content only. Never share your RL instance publicly without authentication.

Despite its power, rev 42 is not anonymous — your server IP is visible to the source file host. For anonymity, route traffic through a VPN or proxy server (configure in curl_setopt).


If you regularly download from multiple free file hosts but hate waiting 60–120 seconds, rev 42 on a cheap VPS (e.g., $5 DigitalOcean droplet) will save hours.
